"Hysterical Bending"
(written by Kristin Hersh)
Hysterical bending, can't speak
Hysterical woman, screams, I think
A head holds the bending
A woman can't be
held
This river runs like water through hell
What am I doing on a mountain?
Green water can flame
This
trance says I can't be contained
Tributaries fly
Hold this solid, melt this solid rain
Rain
A girl's body's solid
How do I melt?
How do I melt without dying?
Hysterical
bending, can't speak
Hysterical woman, screams,
I think
A head holds the bending
A woman can't be held
This river runs like water through hell
What
am I doing on a mountain?
I hate the rain
This trance says I can't be contained
My babies fly
Hold this
solid, melt this solid rain
Rain
